Peering through my archives (I used to post some laaaame things) and came across this pic of Buster sleeping upside down. <3 him. Wished he still snuggled like this. (Lyla still does.)
Just added a Flickr set that I’m really psyched about: Video Chats With My Cats
Since Lyla’s containment chamber is pretty light and mobile, yesterday we came home to an escaped patient with quite a litter/food/water mess.
To help keep an eye out, I’ve set up a UStream to check on Lyla and her setup throughout the day. Currently she’s crying but hopefully she’ll sleep soon. Makes me so sad.
Lyla has been limping for a week so we decided it was time to get it checked out. She was such a good girl while the vet poked around and turns out, she’s done something to her shoulder.
The vet gave her some pain meds to help her calm down but also ordered for her to rest for 2 weeks. Despite her injury and hopping around, Lyla hasn’t slowed down one bit and has been jumping up and down from her favorite spots (on top of bookshelves, doors, refrigerator, etc).
So in order to help her recover, we had to confine her to this pop-up crate thing. Doesn’t she look so sad? It’s pretty comfortable though!

GPOYW - Cat exploitation edition.
Inspired by Nick’s great topless editor pic, we’re having everyone take a webcam style photo for our urlbots photos on Urlesque (especially since we are inside the internet anyways). Naturally I want my cats to be in my pic and trying to get a photo with them is, well, like wrangling cats (previously). This was the last shot of our series of photos — the one where you can really see the hatred in Lyla’s eyes (left) and the absolute sadness in Buster’s face (right).
They fought so hard to get away from me, yet they keep hanging around me now like they’re ready for more. Fameballs.
I have somehow ended up on my own vimeo page and am watching all the videos of Buster and Lyla when they were kittens. I’m not at all surprised that I took so many videos, but I can’t remember uploading all of these at all.
BUT it’s great fun to watch back and see them when they were fun, spritely wee kittens. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still pretty active, sweet and adorable, but there’s just something about a kitten hop. I also wish they still snuggled with one another as much as they did back then.
I couldn’t pick a favorite, but the one above was the first that I actually “edited.” See all the others.
Also of note, I had a trip down memory lane clicking through their old blog (which I re-started over on Tumblr, if you’re interested in following sporadic photos of my cats), and realized how awesome their blog was before I had a job blog. I guess B&L was a good precursor for Urlesque because I did things like a video collection of people making their cats ‘crank that’ like Soulja Boy. Oh well, at least I could devote the time to their blog when it mattered most — kittenhood.
Aren’t they the cutest? (via misskelly)
I quite like this photo (more on Flickr)
